I have boils near my genitals. What medicine should I use?

Asked by Female, 25 · 13 days ago

Boils near the genitals can be caused by bacterial infections, blocked glands, or sometimes STIs. Do not squeeze or pop them, as this can worsen the infection. Keep the area clean and apply a warm, damp compress for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day to encourage natural drainage. Please avoid using over-the-counter creams without a diagnosis. I highly recommend seeing a doctor for a physical exam. Depending on the cause, they may prescribe targeted topical or oral antibiotics (like mupirocin or cephalexin) or safely drain the boil in the clinic if needed.
